lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old shoes by the back door
Same chair with the paint worn through
Neighbors talkin' slow over fences
I keep thinkin' 'bout you
[Chorus]
Under this backyard moonlight
You come back every time
In the smoke and the laughter
You’re the echo in my mind
Under this backyard moonlight
Where the small hours slip away
If you ever wanna find me
I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Dog’s bark in the next yard
Kids’ chalk on the broken stones
I trace our names in the dust there
Then the breeze carries it home
[Chorus]
Under this backyard moonlight
You come back every time
In the smoke and the laughter
You’re the echo in my mind
Under this backyard moonlight
Where the small hours slip away
If you ever wanna find me
I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (in the sway)
Old shoes by the back door
Same chair with the paint worn through
Neighbors talkin' slow over fences
I keep thinkin' 'bout you
[Chorus]
Under this backyard moonlight
You come back every time
In the smoke and the laughter
You’re the echo in my mind
Under this backyard moonlight
Where the small hours slip away
If you ever wanna find me
I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Dog’s bark in the next yard
Kids’ chalk on the broken stones
I trace our names in the dust there
Then the breeze carries it home
[Chorus]
Under this backyard moonlight
You come back every time
In the smoke and the laughter
You’re the echo in my mind
Under this backyard moonlight
Where the small hours slip away
If you ever wanna find me
I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (in the sway)
音乐风格
Laid-back roots reggae groove in a mid-tempo sway; warm off-beat skank guitar, deep rounded bass, and soft rimshot snare. Male vocals, relaxed but soulful, with stacked harmonies in the hook. Subtle organ bubbles and airy percussion fill the gaps; chorus lifts with extra backing vocals and a slightly brighter guitar tone., reggae
